……
As time passed, when the sun was just rising in the early morning, the plane finally arrived in New York and slowly landed in the backyard of the temporary shelter villa.
As soon as he got off the plane and entered the villa, Hawking plunged into the basement where supplies were stored.
His body was already ravenous from the previous high-intensity battle.
“When you’re hungry, everything you eat is delicious.”
After a good eating session, Hawking walked out of the basement with a satisfied look on his face.
He finally understood why Goku looked like he loved everything he ate, because he was really hungry.
“Hawking!”
As soon as he walked out of the basement and entered the lobby on the first floor, a figure in pajamas rushed towards him, jumped up and landed on him.
Taking a closer look, it was Little Wanda.
“It’s only six o’clock, why did you get up so early?”
Hawking patted Wanda on the back, put her down, and asked in surprise.
Usually, Wanda couldn’t wake up that early unless the sun shine straight at her or Iryna urged her.
“You were not here last night. I have been worried. I got up when I heard some ruckus outside in the morning. Professor Ororo told me that you were in the basement…”
Wanda’s ramble warmed Hawking’s heart.
To be honest, this feeling of being cared about all the time was really nice. He had never received this kind of treatment in his previous life.
“Where’s Pietro?”
“Pietro is still sleeping. He slept like crazy. Last night he even snatched my pudding.!”
Wanda kept complaining angrily.
“What, Pietro is so naughty. Next time I will scold him. Come on, here are the lollipops I got from the basement. I wanted to give you and pietro one each, but now they are all yours!”
Pulling Little Wanda to comfort her for a while, Hawking secretly sighed inwardly. Little sisters are the best after all, hehe!
As for the younger brother, it’s okay if you don’t want him!
“Hawking is the best.”
Wanda took the two lollipops, hugged Hawking’s arms, stood on tiptoes and kissed him on the forehead.
“But you can’t eat it now. You have to wait until you brush your teeth, otherwise it will be bad for your teeth…”
Passing through the living room and entering the corridor, he met Magneto as he turned the corner. Magneto was also ready to rest and catch up on his sleep.
“Wanda, please go back to your room first. I have a few words to say to this old man.”
He coaxed Wanda away, and Hawking stopped Magneto.
“Mr. Eric, if you don’t mind, do you have time to chat?”
“Of course, I enjoy chatting with you.”
Magneto was naturally happy that Hawking looked for him.
Under pressure from S.H.I.E.L.D. and Captain Marvel, he temporarily joined forces with Charles again, but that was only temporary, and the two would part ways sooner or later.
It would be great if Hawking could join the brotherhood.
In fact, this was one of the reasons why he readily agreed to Charles’ invitation.
“I would like to know, what does Mr. Eric think of Colonel Stryker’s treatment?”
Hawking spoke tentatively.
Magneto replied without any hesitation:
“I think it would be best to kill him.
“But your Professor Charles disagrees. He wants to use that bastard to ease the relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. and make them think we are gentle and non-aggressive. How naive. “
At this point, Magneto couldn’t help but sneer.
If he had not just eased the relationship with Charles and promised Charles not to kill anyone without his consent, he would have killed Stryker on the plane.
“What S.H.I.E.L.D. fears is our strength, not our attitude. If we are not strong enough, acting meek would only endanger us.
“That Colonel Stryker cannot live, he knows too many secrets of mutants.”
Seeing that Eric’s attitude was the same as his own judgment, Hawking no longer concealed his opinion.
“Unfortunately, I promised Charles that I can’t do it.”
Magneto shrugged.
Hawking laughed and said:
“Just because you can’t do it, doesn’t mean I can’t do it. I didn’t promise the professor anything, but in order to prevent the professor from stopping me, you need to do me a little favor. …”
“Hahaha, very good, Hawking, you are really the best. I want you in my brotherhood even more!”
Upon hearing Hawking’s plan, Magneto was stunned for a moment. He then laughed.
He really didn’t expect that Hawking would have such courage and dare to go against Charles’s decision, even coming to him for cooperation.
Even Logan, the vengeful Wolverine, gave up the opportunity to kill Stryker for revenge under Charles’s persuasion.
On the contrary, Hawking, who had no hatred against Stryker, was determined to kill Stryker.
“I just want to protect the school.”
Hawking spread his hands, looking innocent.
Magneto showed a meaningful expression:
“All the things I do in my life, I do to protect mutants.
“Hawking, you and I are really alike, please consider joining my brotherhood again! “
“Let’s talk about this later.”
Seeing that Magneto agreed to help him, Hawking had no reason to listen to his ramble anymore. He quickly waved his hands and returned to the room where he, Wanda, and Pietro stayed.
Magneto did not stop him. He just looked at Hawking’s back and murmured:
“Perhaps, even if you stay here, you would be better replacement for Charles!”
He felt that even if Hawking did not join his brotherhood, it would be a good outcome if he grew up and replaced Charles as the leader of the mutant school in the future.
With the character shown by Hawking, sooner or later, the school of mutants will take the same path as him.
Two days later, in the main square of the mutant school.
Hawking said goodbye to the reluctant Wanda and the somewhat reluctant Pietro, and followed Professor X, Magneto and Mystique. They would escort Colonel Stryker aboard the X-Men stealth plane again.
Their destination this time was the Triskellion Building in Washington, D.C., the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D..
In less than two days, the professor relied on his family’s influence and his psychic abilities such as mind control and memory erasure to take back the school that had been occupied by the soldiers and erase all evidence.
The current school for mutants has returned to being the school for gifted teenagers in the eyes of outsiders.
Everything that happened in the past few days seemed to have never happened.
This also allowed Hawking to see the horror of Professor X’s abilities.
To be honest, if not for Professor X’s high moral line, he could’ve used his ability and the Cerebro to literally rewrite the entire history of mankind.
The ability delete and modify memories at will on a large scale was truly terrifying.
It was precisely because of this that he was attracted to the two curses in Harry Potter’s memory.
That is the Forgetting Spell and the False Memory Spell, which can also modify and delete memories.
After experiencing the Chamber of Secrets incident in his second year, Harry learned these two spells, but Harry did not put much energy into them, unlike Hermione who could use them skillfully.
If Harry tried, he could probably use the spells, but with his low proficiency he would likely turn the target into idiot.
But these two spells now also existed in Hawking’s memory.
